‘Music, mayhem and madness’
The magnificent Cynthia Fortitude, played by Helen Moulder, is definitely in the twilight of her long career as operatic diva. Tonight she has arrived to give a musical lecture for the inaugural meeting of the Island Bay Opera Guild (IBOG). Her long-suffering accompanist Miss Gertrude Rallentando is nowhere to be found, so Cynthia must battle on without her. “I wanted to honour the character of Gertie,” Helen says. “My good friend, Rose Beauchamp, who played Gertie for thirty years with me in Hens’ Teeth, The Legend Returns and Cynthia & Gertie Go Baroque, sadly died in 2022, and I wanted the delicious character of Gertie to live on somehow.” Gertie does not appear in this show of course but is very present in all sorts of ways!
